Garneau Cityzen Collection
Earlier this year Garneau launched a new commuting/athletic wear line known as the Cityzen Collection. Since a big chunk of TBD commutes via bike on a daily basis Garneau sent us the full line-up to take for a spin around New York City. Our size selection, based on the race cut that we are used to from the custom product we race in year round, left something to be desired given Cityzen uses a much more relaxed fit cut. However despite the sample jerseys being a few sizes too big we were broadly impressed by the quality of the construction and thoughtful touches like the sunglasses loop on the jerseys. Without a doubt our favorite product in the Cityzen Collection was the urban cycling shorts that feature a removable chamois - definitely something we could see ourselves using not just while commuting but also while bikepacking. To check out the full Cityzen Collection head over to the Garneau website.

It’s been a little over a year since I got my 3T, and I finally decided it was time to tell the world how much I love it.
From run what ya brung, to carefully thought out gear and tire choices, TBD had it all at Charm 2022
Not all bike manufacturers are as forward thinking as Garneau was with their Steeple’s fender eyelets. But this doesn’t mean you cannot convert your cyclo cross bike into the perfect outdoor winter training machine, it just takes a little more creativity and engineering.
